Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure cap according to the preamble of claim 1 and a container according to the preamble of claim 19.
  • closure caps are known which are held captive on the container and close its pouring opening.
  • the holding function is also important because legal regulations are to be expected which require that closures on drinks bottles are captively attached to the drinks bottle even when opened.
  • WO2020/099200 which falls under Art. 54(3) EPC, and the CA 2 990 674 discloses a closure consisting of a screw cap with a guarantee band, which has at least one cylindrical cap shell with an internal thread and a circumferential guarantee band at the lower, open end of the cap shell, which is connected to the lower edge of the cap shell along easily tearable weakening lines.
  • the guarantee band After being torn along the weakening lines, the guarantee band remains permanently connected to the cap shell via retaining bands, whereby the screw cap is held captive to the guarantee band after unscrewing.
  • the two ends of the retaining bands formed, which are held to the lower edge of the cap shell, are attached to the lower edge at a short distance from one another. arranged.
  • the two ends can act as a hinge around which the screw cap can be folded outwards. In the opened position, the screw cap has a stabilized opening angle and remains in this folded-away position. When the bottle is used further, the screw cap is therefore in a position that does not interfere with pouring or drinking from the bottle.
  • the two ends of the retaining straps, which are held on the guarantee band, are arranged diametrically opposite each other on the guarantee band and are therefore spaced apart from each other by half the circumference of the guarantee band.
  • a further task is to show a captive closure cap which is particularly easy to use, or rather self-explanatory, and does not hinder any use of the container to be closed.
  • the second end Before the threaded part is opened for the first time, the second end is arranged essentially diametrically opposite the fourth end on the circular path of the guarantee ring.
  • the diametrical arrangement means that the first and second retaining bands do not necessarily have to be elastically deformed in order to be able to be moved into the open position. Even in the open position in which the threaded part is held on the container, the retaining bands do not have to be elastically deformed or stretched.
  • the symmetrical arrangement also allows the threaded part to be swivelled to the left or right into a holding position next to the pouring opening after unscrewing.
  • the essentially diametrical arrangement also allows the threaded part to be opened easily and homogeneously.
  • the invention is characterized in that before the closure cap is opened for the first time, the first, second, third and fourth ends are arranged one after the other in ascending order on the circular path of the guarantee ring in an anti-clockwise direction if the internal thread and the external thread are designed as right-hand threads.
  • This arrangement of the retaining straps on the open edge of the threaded part and on the guarantee ring enables both retaining straps to experience an equal pressure load during the opening of the threaded part. None of the retaining straps experiences a tensile force directed against the pressure load.
  • the retaining straps are expanded horizontally away from the bottle neck and any predetermined breaking webs are broken open as a result of the lifting movement of the threaded part.
  • the first end is arranged essentially diametrically opposite the third end. This arrangement also makes it easier to position the threaded part but also to screw the threaded part back onto the container neck.
  • first edge is detachably connected to the open edge of the threaded part by at least one first predetermined breaking bar and the second edge is detachably connected to the guarantee ring by at least one second predetermined breaking bar and if the third edge is detachably connected to the open edge of the threaded part by at least one third predetermined breaking bar and the fourth edge is detachably connected to the guarantee ring by at least one fourth predetermined breaking bar.
  • first and third ends enclose a first opening angle of at least 170 degrees and at most 190 degrees and preferably of at least 175 and at most 185 degrees with respect to the center of the closure cap as the apex and the second and fourth ends enclose a second opening angle of at least 170 degrees and at most 190 degrees and preferably of at least 175 and at most 185 degrees with respect to the center of the closure cap as the apex.
  • first and second opening angles deviate slightly from the arrangement described above, but the second and fourth or the first and third ends of the retaining straps are still arranged essentially diametrically opposite each other.
  • the center of the closure cap lies in the plane between the open edge and the guarantee ring.
  • the first and second retaining bands have a length which allows the threaded part to be unscrewed from the container neck.
  • the length of the retaining bands allows the threaded part to be moved translationally away from the pouring opening and downwards along the container neck into a Open position can be moved. By providing two retaining straps, this movement is forced and the threaded part is forced into an open position. In the open position, it is ensured that the threaded part does not protrude into the pouring opening when filling material is poured out.
  • the first and second ends expediently enclose a third opening angle of at least 110 degrees and at most 140 degrees and preferably of at least 120 and at most 130 degrees with respect to the center of the closure cap as the apex.
  • the first retaining strap has a defined length, through which the functions described above are made possible together with the second retaining strap.
  • the third and fourth ends expediently enclose a fourth opening angle of at least 110 degrees and at most 140 degrees and preferably of at least 120 and at most 130 degrees with respect to the center of the closure cap as the apex.
  • the second retaining strap has a defined length, through which the functions described above are made possible together with the second retaining strap.
  • first, second, third and fourth opening angles have a circle center as their vertex, their sum of angles must be 360 degrees.
  • the third and fourth opening angles are the same size, whereby the first and second retaining bands are the same length.
  • the equal length of the first and second retaining bands enables the translational, forced movement after the threaded part has been unscrewed from the container neck.
  • the cross section of the first and second retaining straps is constant along the length of the first and second retaining straps.
  • the retaining straps therefore have constant elastic properties along their length, whereby a defined length of the retaining straps can be determined, at which the threaded part can be held stable and wobble-free on the container in its open position.
  • the first and second retaining straps are pre-tensioned.
  • the elastic pre-tension of the retaining straps enables the threaded part to be unscrewed from the container neck and screwed back on several times. can be screwed on and can be reliably held in the open position several times.
  • the constant cross-section of the retaining straps along their length prevents overstretching of the retaining straps in the open position.
  • the guarantee bars are arranged at equal intervals along the open edge.
  • the guarantee ring is therefore held sufficiently firmly on the threaded part so that the closure cap can be pushed onto the container neck.
  • the threaded part can also be unscrewed with equal force due to the even spacing of the guarantee bars.
  • the first, second, third and fourth predetermined breaking bars are conveniently arranged at equal distances along the first and second or the third and fourth edge. This means that the closure cap is also sufficiently stable in the area of the first and second retaining bands to be able to be snapped onto the container neck.
  • the broken predetermined breaking bars and guarantee bars indicate that the threaded part has already been twisted relative to the container neck and is no longer sealed in the original manner.
  • the position of the guarantee ring relative to the annular projection of the container neck can be changed in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction. Because the guarantee ring can be moved upwards in the axial direction, it is pulled upwards when the threaded part is unscrewed, whereby the first and second retaining bands can be made shorter and can be better adapted to the open position. Because the guarantee ring rotates when the threaded part is turned at the beginning of unscrewing, the first and second retaining bands experience an axial force when the threaded part is unscrewed and are pulled upwards.
  • the guarantee ring can only perform a very small lifting movement (for example 1 to 2 mm) in the axial direction so that the predetermined breaking webs can be torn open as a result of the rotating movement or the lifting movement of the threaded part.
  • the guarantee ring has an anti-twist device which prevents the guarantee ring from twisting relative to the bottle neck when the threaded part is opened if the guarantee ring has twisted in the circumferential direction by a certain distance.
  • the anti-twist device enables the ring to be twisted of the threaded part in the opening direction, the pressure force on the retaining straps is increased, as these can be supported against the guarantee ring.
  • the guarantee ring rotates with the threaded part at the beginning of the twisting, the retaining straps are not wrapped around the container neck.
  • a first and second recess for receiving the first and second retaining bands is expediently provided on the edge of the guarantee ring facing the retaining band.
  • the first and second retaining bands can be formed from the guarantee ring in a space-saving manner and without additional material expenditure.
  • the first and second retaining bands can be formed from the guarantee ring by making appropriate cuts.
  • the closure cap according to the invention is preferably manufactured using an injection molding process.
  • first and/or the second end of the first retaining strap and the third and/or the fourth end of the second retaining strap can be bent along predefined bend lines. This allows the first and second retaining straps to each act like a lever with two pivot points.
  • the bend lines also allow the first and second retaining straps to not be bent or kinked at random positions in the open position, but precisely at the bend lines. This means that the threaded part is held particularly precisely by the two retaining straps in the open position and is guided exactly into the open position by the two retaining straps.
  • an inwardly projecting inner cone e.g. in the form of a sealing cylinder or a sealing ring
  • the closure cap can therefore act as a so-called “cone sealer” and reliably seals the bottle neck.
  • the retaining band has a width of between 3 mm and 7 mm and preferably a width of between 4 mm and 5 mm. This dimensioning ensures that the retaining band does not tear off accidentally, especially if the predetermined breaking bars are torn off.
  • the closure cap not too high and can be sealed with standardized container necks with external threads.
  • the invention is also characterized in that the closure cap is designed to interact with a standardized container neck with an external thread and an annular projection.
  • the closure cap can therefore be placed on standardized container necks, in particular on PET beverage bottles.
  • Containers which are assembled with the closure cap according to the invention therefore do not have to be specially adapted to the closure cap.
  • the closure cap is preferably made of a plastic material, preferably HDPE (high density polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene).
  • the closure cap can therefore be made of standard plastic materials from which known closure caps with a guarantee ring are also made.
  • the threaded part, the guarantee ring, the retaining bands and the at least one first and second predetermined breaking element are manufactured in one piece. This allows the closure cap to be manufactured in an injection mold without further processing steps being necessary to form the first and second retaining bands.
  • the inner cone is also preferably manufactured in one piece together with the other parts of the closure cap.
  • the guarantee ring has slots distributed over the circumference with an upper edge and a lower edge, the upper edge being formed by a section of the guarantee ring running in a circular arc and the lower edge being formed by a wall section inclined inwards in the radial direction and the lower edge of each slot forming the projections, whereby engagement means for a positive engagement with the annular projection are formed. Since the engagement means in the form of the inwardly inclined wall sections are not present all the way around the guarantee ring and there are also slots whose shape reduces the use of material even further, the material requirement for plastic can be significantly reduced by up to 5%.
  • the wall section is immovable inwards in the radial direction, whereby the guarantee ring is held on the annular projection and can only be pulled over it when the guarantee ring is along its circumference is stretched.
  • the guarantee ring is held so firmly by the wall sections on the ring-shaped projection that the predetermined breaking elements tear safely before the wall section holder is overcome.
  • the wall sections are flexible or movable in the radial outward direction. This means that the wall sections can be demolded from the injection mold or injection molding tool with little effort. For the same reason, the application force for bouncing the closure cap is significantly reduced compared to the state of the art. Stretching of the guarantee ring, which can lead to permanent damage to the closure cap, is largely prevented during demolding and bouncing.
  • a further aspect of the invention relates to a container comprising a container body, a container neck adjoining the container body, an external thread formed on the container neck and a closure cap according to the above description.
  • a shoulder is formed on the container neck, which is formed below the guarantee ring or is formed by the guarantee ring and the length of the first and second retaining bands is dimensioned such that the threaded part can be lifted from a closed position after unscrewing the container neck and can be positioned below the shoulder in an open position, wherein the threaded part is held in the open position on the first and second retaining bands, rests at least partially with the open edge on the container body and rests on the shoulder.
  • the threaded part is pulled with the aid of the retaining bands into the transition between the shoulder and the container body in the direction of the container neck, whereby a holder for the threaded part is created at the transition.
  • the shoulder is expediently a support ring which is formed at the transition from the container neck to the container body.
  • a support ring is already present in a plastic bottle, in particular a bottle made of PET, for production-related reasons. It is therefore particularly practical to use this support ring as a stop for the threaded part. If there is no support ring on the container, it is also possible to form a shoulder on the container neck with a Length in the circumferential direction, which length enables the first cylindrical shell of the threaded part to be supported on the shoulder. It is also conceivable that the guarantee ring is used as a shoulder on which the first cylindrical shell can be supported.
  • the length of the first and second retaining straps is such that the threaded part can be lifted off the container neck from a closed position after unscrewing and can be positioned in an open position in which the cover plate rests on the external thread and on the shoulder in the open position.
  • the arrangement of the retaining straps allows the user to choose between two fixing positions or open positions in which the threaded part exposes the pouring opening and is held on the container without wobbling.
  • the threaded part can be pivoted along an axis of rotation on which the first end of the first retaining strap and the third end of the second retaining strap lie until the cover plate faces the container neck.
  • the threaded part can then be clamped to the container neck by the cover plate resting on the external thread and the support ring.
  • the retaining straps are tensioned in this second fixing position and hold the threaded part on the container neck without wobbling.
  • the first and second retaining bands are free from elastic deformation in the open position of the threaded part.
  • the threaded part can be moved from the open position to the closed position several times and can therefore be screwed onto and off the container neck several times.
  • the function of the closure cap does not deteriorate when the threaded part is opened and closed several times.
  • the cap can be snapped onto the bottle neck. After filling, the container can be closed fully automatically and therefore quickly and reliably with the cap.
  • a closure cap is shown, which is designated overall with the reference number 11.
  • the closure cap 11 is held captively on a container 13, in particular on a bottle 13.
  • the closure cap 11 comprises a cylindrical threaded part 15, a guarantee ring 17 and a first and a second retaining band 19a, 19b.

  • the container 13 comprises a container body 28 and a container neck 29 adjoining the container body 28.
  • the container neck 29 is designed as a second cylindrical casing.
  • An external thread 31 is formed on the container neck 29, which interacts with the internal thread 27. This allows the threaded part 15 to be screwed onto and off the container neck 29.
  • the closure cap 11 closes the pouring opening 33, which is provided inside the container neck 29.
  • the guarantee ring 17 is held in a form-fitting manner on the container neck 13.

Rather, the support ring 91 causes the open edge 25 to be pressed onto the container shoulder 93. This means that the threaded part 15 is held particularly stable in the open position.
  • the first cylindrical casing 23 rests against the guarantee ring 17 if no support ring is present. In this case, the guarantee ring 17 acts as a shoulder for the threaded part 15.
  • FIG. 4 shows the rotation axis of the container neck 83 and the rotation axis 85 of the threaded part, caused by the container shoulder 93, enclose an acute angle.
  • the threaded part can be rotated after unscrewing from the container neck 29 along the first and third ends 39,53 such that the cover plate 21 is oriented in the direction of the container neck 29.
  • the threaded part can then - similarly to what was previously explained - be positioned on the container neck such that the retaining bands 19a,19b pull or tension the cover plate onto the external thread 31 and the support ring 91.
  • the projections 37 can be arranged according to the following figure description of the Figures 6 and 7
  • This embodiment of the projections 37 is the content of the Swiss patent applications with the application numbers 01467/19 and 01695/19, the priorities of which have been claimed and the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated into the present patent application.
  • Slots 95 are provided on the guarantee ring 17, distributed over the circumference.
  • the slots 95 each have an upper edge 97 and a lower edge 99.
  • the upper edge 97 is formed by a circular arc-shaped section of the guarantee ring 17.
  • the lower edge 99 corresponds to the free edge of a wall section 101 inclined inwards in a radial direction.
  • the lower edge 99 Due to the inward inclination of the wall section 101, the lower edge 99 has a smaller radius than the guarantee ring 17 and can therefore strike an abutment (annular projection 35) of the container neck 29 when the threaded part 15 is unscrewed from the container neck 29.
  • the abutment is realized by the annular projection 35, which is formed below the external thread 31 on the container neck 29.
  • the lower edge 99 engages the projection 35 in a form-fitting manner, whereby the guarantee ring 17 is reliably held on the annular projection 35 even under high axial forces.
  • Each wall section 101 has a first section 103 and two second sections 105.
  • the first section 103 represents a jacket section folded inwards and is preferably flat.
  • the second sections 105 adjoin the inward-facing sides of the first section 103 and connect it to the guarantee ring 17.
  • the second sections 105 can be curved or flat and face each other obliquely inwards.
  • the lower edge 99 of the slot 95 corresponds to the free edges of the first section 103 and the second sections 105 and lies in a plane 107 which is in Figure 7 is shown.
  • the plane 107 is preferably oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation 85 of the container neck 29.
  • the described design features of the wall section 101 have the advantage that the wall section 101 can rest with the entire lower edge 99 on the annular projection 35 and does not give way under an axial pulling force upwards. As a result, the guarantee ring 17 is held inseparably on the projection 35 or can only be removed from the projection 35 by destroying it. A movement of the first partial section 103 inwards in the radial direction is prevented by providing the second partial sections 105. A movement of the first partial section 103 outwards in the radial direction is, however, possible. This movement is flexible and the wall section 101 returns to its inwardly inclined basic position after it has been pressed radially outwards.
  • guarantee ring 17 can be easily demolded and can be pushed onto the container neck 29 together with the threaded part 15 with little force.
  • the demolding from an injection mold and the pushing onto the container neck 29 can be carried out due to the flexibility of the wall section 101 without there being any risk of the wall section 101 being damaged.
  • the inclined wall sections 101 have a reduced wall thickness compared to the rest of the guarantee ring 17.
  • the area of the lower edge 99 has the smallest wall thickness.
  • the wall thickness of the wall section 101 increases linearly downwards starting from the lower edge 99.
  • the first angle of inclination 111 indicates the inclination of the first section 103 with respect to the plane of the lower edge 99.
  • the first angle of inclination 111 has a size between 60 and 80 degrees and preferably between 65 and 75 degrees. The larger the first angle of inclination 111, the better the stability of the wall sections 101 with respect to vertical forces or axial tensile forces caused by unscrewing the threaded part 15. However, the first angle of inclination 111 must not be too large, since otherwise the annular projection 35 cannot be sufficiently gripped.
  • the second angle of inclination 113 indicates the inclination of the slot 95 relative to the plane of the lower edge 109.
  • the connecting line 115 which represents the inclination of the slot 95, is a connection of the upper edge 97 with the lower edge 99 in a plane spanned by the rotation axis 85 and the connecting line 115.
  • the second angle of inclination 113 is enclosed by the connecting line 115 and the plane 107.
  • the second angle of inclination 113 has a size between 30 and 50 degrees and preferably between 35 and 45 degrees. The larger the second angle of inclination 113, the easier the guarantee ring 17 can be demolded.
  • an inwardly projecting inner cone 87 ( Figure 1 ), e.g. in the form of a sealing cylinder or a sealing ring.
  • the inner cone 87 is designed to cooperate sealingly with the inner wall 89 of the container neck 29 in the closed position.
  • the closure cap 11 can therefore act as a so-called “cone sealer” and reliably seals the container neck 29.
  • the closure cap 11 is made of a plastic.
  • Preferred plastics include PP and HDPE.
